So the missing person report that her family put in, it didn't name Gladys and it didn't have any details about Alberta's movements with Gladys that night.

Yet, this guy somehow knows about Gladys, knows that Gladys called Alberta to come over, knows that they went out to eat before he had ever spoken to Gladys or anyone in Alberta's family.

How?

Nobody ever really explains this or even seems to think it's like as weird as Alberta's family does.

I mean, I do.

Same, but it's just like glossed over.

Or option C, someone was following Alberta that night, whether they were involved or not.

And that is not a far-fetched idea because people had been following Alberta in the time leading up to her death.

So remember, I told you that she had been scared recently because of her work.

Well, there's a lot that went into that.

Alberta had just become the first Black female prosecutor in Louisville history.

Remember, this is 1965, so I'm sure some people weren't too happy about that.

And even before that job, Alberta was heavily involved in the city's civil rights movement.

She was breaking barrier after barrier, and she was one of the first Black students who attended the University of Louisville.

And she was considered the first Black woman to pass the Kentucky bar exam.

And importantly, she was passionate about registering Black citizens to vote.

So she co-founded the Independent Voters Association and helped register roughly 6,000 Black voters in Louisville.

And she was a major part of the group that helped oust Louisville's mayor in 1961 and establish new laws against racial discrimination.

She had such a great reputation that Muhammad Ali relied on her to negotiate his first professional contract.

Wow.
